Notice when buying or trading Endorsed Musicman Bass ?

[daahoud]

I am going to trade one of my bass with Stingray 4 , today evening.
And, the person told me that it's endorsed Stingray.

If you have any experience, ever, traded or bought Endorsed used Musicman bass, Please let's share some.

there no problem with checking the serial ?

Not sure what you mean by "Endorsed".

If it's a bass that was built for an artist, you mean?

It annoys BP but that isn't on you.

In general, these sorts of claims turn out to be....oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Ah, yes - horse poop.

But you never know.

That's two words Jack.

Well Endorsed Basses that People sell always Piss Me Off and this is why.

In most Cases Endorsed basses are "FREE" or at Cost. The idea is for the Artist to be seen playing the bass.
#1 Artist gets what he wants
#2 The Company gets what they need- The instrument seen by many.

I have never sold or will never sell the Stuff I have got Free when I was on the road because in my heart it's still not mine, yes i did my deed while using it but to sell and make a Profit off it when it was given to me free is wrong.
When I had my Peavey deal in the 80's I offered all the Amps back when i decided to go with GK, they declined and said no just sell them or keep them. That was their call.

I'd rather just give the instrument or Amp Back. It's not right to profit on a good deal situation.
Plus when these Artist sell their Endorsements these Companies are less likely to want to give Endorsements in the future to maybe someone who may deserve one, So it hurts the players and the Companies all the way around.
Just my 2 cents worth.

different situations.... I did have a poser who would call each year and try to order basses when we knew last years were on ebay...he didnt keep his endorsement

THe quickest way possible to loose an Ernie Ball Music Man endorsement is to sell product without our blessing

As someone who has received a gift from Ernie Ball.. It feels like an endorsement. I can honestly say my balls are my balls. I felt the need to ask for permission before i traded Bongo for Stingray. I can't imagine any of my Music Man Equipment leaving me at this point. They are all too special...

[Steamthief]

Do tell!

[LawDaddy]

If I get an endorsement, I promise never to sell anything. Deal?

[Powman]

+1 minus the whole being endorsed part, but if anyone at EBMM wants to do so lol Either way it's wrong to sell or trade off something you get for free period no matter where it's from.
